I’m tigging some 1mm mild steel fuel tanks together so I’m buying some 1mm filler rod but would like to know the difference between a15 and a18, does it have something to do with its strength?
The copper backing strip wont work as its a fuel tank ie completely enclosed i did the last tank by overlapping spots but it wasn’t pretty deffo didn’t resemble tig and took a lot of dressing afterwards (ill add photos of that another day)
I also tried downhand but i had to move so fast it was...
Ok so I’m welding 1mm sheet for small fuel tanks, i have my r-tech c315 mig on all its lowest settings with 0.6 wire and a glance at the voltage when running is about 15 volts and it sounds fine but i keep burning through, i can maybe do about a one inch bead on an open corner then burn straight...

Ok thanks everyone for your input tbh I had forgotten I had posted that question and had already decided that 0.8 will do the bulk of the work and I’ll get some 1.0 for the thicker stuff, I only thought about the 0.6 as I’ve not welded 1mm sheet before and turns out it might be as thin as 0.8...
Hi I’m setting up a small fab shop and will need to weld from 0.8 up 10mm mild steal with the bulk being 3mm, so I’m stocking my consumables cupboard would 0.6 and 1mm cover it all?
